The Specialist Formulator

Is one who employs materials scientists and chemists to take basic materials from the petrochemicals, plastics, cement, aggregate, and other related industries and tailor them into useful repair materials which can be applied in as simple a manner as possible on site.

(1) The shrinkage compensation agent is included to

counteract the natural phenomenon of contraction

due to low of moisture. These agent have two

distinct mechanism to wok at plastic.

(2) Silica fume is to impart dense matrix and enhance

water tightness or wall is increase strength.

(3) Polymer is added in powder form to increase

flexibility, adhesion, and water tightness.

(4) Microfibers to impart flowability and badge cracks.

(5) Pulverized superplasticers to increase workability

after a low which ratio.

Indices for Durable Repair

• Repair Diffusivity• Free Drying Shrinkage• Free Specific Tensile Creep• Repair Tensile Strength• Tensile Modulus of Elasticity

No matter how superior the

repair material system,

it can not go beyond and bypass

the quality of workmanship
